remember

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

remember, i’m always here for you.
to hear your cry,

to stop the tears from running down your face,
to catch you when you fall,

to listen to what you have to say
and i want you to know
that you can trust me with your secrets.

to keep them to me and only me.

that, i will do my best to be the most
trustworthy and understanding friend i can be.

and i will always be there for you.
as long as you remember this through your hard
and happy times,

whether in flesh-blood, or in spirit and mind,
i’ll be there waiting…
waiting to listen to what you have to say.

for that us what a true friend is
amd that’s what i’ll be.

beginning today!

beginning today…
i will no longer worry about yesterday.
it is in the past and the past will never change.
only i can change by choosing to do so.

beginning today…
i will no longer worrry about tomorrow.
tomorrow  will always be there,
waiting for me to make the most of it.
but i cannot make the most of tomorrow
without first making the most of today.

beginning today…
i will look in the mirror and i will see
a person worthy of my respect and admiration.
this capable woman looking back at me
is someone i would like to get to know better.

beginning today…
i will cherish each moment of my life.
i value the gift bestowed upon me
in this world and i will unselfishly share
this gift with others.
i will use this gift to enhance the lives of others.

beginning today…
i will take a moment to step off the beaten path
and to revel in the mysteries i encounter.
i will face challenges placed before me
with courage and determination.
i will overcome the barriers that may hinder
my quest for growth and self-improvement.

beginning today…
i will take life one day at a time,
one step at a time.
discouragement will not be allowed to taint
my positive self-image, my desire to succeed
or my capacity to love.

beginning today…
i walk with renewed faith in human kindness.
regardless of what has gone before,
i believe there is hope
for a brighter and better future.

beginning today…
i will open my mind and my heart.
i will welcome new experiences.
i will meet new people.
i will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone elese,
perfection does not exist in an imperfect world.
rather, i will applaud the attempt
to overcome human foibles.

beginning today…
i am responsible for my own happiness
and i will do things that make me happy…
admire the beautiful wpmders of nature;
listen to my favorite music;
pet a kitten or a puppy;
soak in a bubble bath…
pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.

beginning today…
i will learn something new;
i will try something different;
i will savor all the various flavors life has to offer.
i will change what i can and the rest i will let go.
i will strive to become the best me i can possibly be.

BEGINNING TODAY…
